Might Makes Right? US Can Save Fleeing Presidents, But Russia Cannot
Yemen, Ukraine, and the Hypocrisy of 'Aggression'
March 30, 2015 (Eric Draitser - NEO) -
The military intervention in Yemen by a US-backed coalition of Arab states will undoubtedly inflame the conflict both in Yemen, and throughout the region. It is likely to be a protracted war involving many actors, each of which is interested in furthering its own political and geopolitical agenda.
However, it is the international reaction to this new regional war which is of particular interest; specifically, the way in which the United States has reacted to this undeniable aggression by its Gulf allies. While Washington has gone to great lengths to paint Russia's reunification with Crimea and its limited support for the anti-Kiev rebels of eastern Ukraine as "aggression," it has allowed that same loaded term to be completely left out of the narrative about the new war in Yemen.
So it seems that, according to Washington, aggression is not defined by any objective indicators: use of military hardware, initiation of hostilities, etc. Rather, the United States defines aggression by the relationship of a given conflict to its own strategic interests. In Crimea and Ukraine, Russia is the aggressor because, in defending its own interests and those of Russian people, it has acted against the perceived geopolitical interests of the US. While in Yemen, the initiation by Saudi Arabia and other US-backed countries of an unprovoked war with the expressed goal of regime change, this is not aggression as it furthers Washington's interests.
Language Versus Reality
On March 25, 2015 a coalition of Arab states initiated an aerial bombardment (as of writing there has yet to be a ground invasion, though it is expected) of Yemen for the purposes of dislodging the Houthi rebel government which had weeks before toppled the US and Saudi-backed puppet government of Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi. The war initiated by Saudi Arabia, along with its fellow Gulf monarchies and Egypt, was motivated purely by Saudi Arabia's, and by extension the United States', perceived interests.
Within hours of the commencement of the bombardment, reports from Yemen indicated that dozens, if not scores, of Yemenis had been killed in the airstrikes. Despite the immediate loss of life, to say nothing of the destruction of infrastructure, buildings, homes, and communities, the United States praised the operation as necessary for regional security. Indeed it has been confirmed that, while not providing direct military support in the form of troops or air support, the United States has been intimately involved in the operation.
Speaking directly on behalf of the White House and the Obama administration, the National Security Council spokesperson announced:
Saudi Arabia, Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) members, and others will undertake military action to defend Saudi Arabia's border and to protect Yemen's legitimate government...In support of GCC actions...President Obama has authorized the provision of logistical and intelligence support to GCC-led military operations. While U.S. forces are not taking direct military action in Yemen in support of this effort, we are establishing a Joint Planning Cell with Saudi Arabia to coordinate U.S. military and intelligence support...the violent takeover of Yemen by an armed faction is unacceptable and that a legitimate political transition...can be accomplished only through political negotiations and a consensus agreement among all of the parties.
So, in Washington's own words, the aggressive military intervention into Yemen is both legitimate and supported by the US. Moreover, the US has openly acknowledged their direct participation in the campaign in the form of intelligence and logistical support. Exactly what is entailed in "intelligence" and "logistical support" is certainly open to interpretation. Undoubtedly, the US has its covert forces involved in the operation, likely on the ground in Yemen, to say nothing of its vast presence throughout the region.
In fact, it is universally recognized that the CIA has been intimately involved in Yemen for at least the last several years, with CIA Director Brennan having been integral in fostering the relationship. As the NY Times reported in 2012 , the Obama administration's approach in Yemen was "to employ small numbers of Special Operations troops, Central Intelligence Agency paramilitary teams and drones." It should be further remembered that Hadi himself was handpicked by Washington in the wake of the fall of former President Saleh's government, and that Hadi, described by the US as the "legitimate" president ran unopposed in a farcically described "democratic transition" sponsored by the US.
Taken in total then, it is objectively true that the United States has been involved militarily in Yemen since at least 2012, propping up their man in Sanaa in order to bolster their geopolitical and strategic position in the region, naturally under the aegis of "fighting terrorism." So it stands to reason that the White House would refer to the Saudi aggression as legitimate, and praise it as such. It is equally true that the so called "legitimacy" of the military operation, and the Hadi government itself, is dependent on US interests, nothing less.
Now compare the language employed by the US vis-`a-vis this war against Yemen, with the talking points endlessly repeated by all US officials, and nearly all media pundits, regarding Russia's actions in Crimea and Ukraine. Everyone from Republican warmongers like John McCain, to State Department spokesperson (and unwitting comedic icon) Jen Psaki, have all described Moscow's moves as "Russian aggression." Indeed, it seems that phrase alone has become something of a mantra in Washington, and on the airwaves of its servile and compliant corporate media, framing the narrative as "clear and unmistakable aggression against Ukraine's territorial integrity" and other such vacuous phrases.
But consider for a moment the objective facts. Russia's direct military interests in Crimea, not to mention the safety and freedom of Russian-speakers, was under direct threat after the US-sponsored coup in Kiev toppled the corrupt, but democratically elected, government in February 2014. In response, Russia launched a limited military operation to secure Crimea and its interests. This is critical because this operation was carried out with no bloodshed, no airstrikes, and not a single shot fired. While this aspect may be forgotten amid the din of belligerent shouts and incredulousness from Washington, it must not be forgotten by keen political observers. In point of fact, Russia's "aggression" in Crimea was entirely peaceful, and as is self-evident, entirely defensive.
On the other hand, the "legitimate" actions of the US, Saudi Arabia and its allies do not constitute aggression. Well, it is clear that the dozens (by now likely far more) of families who have lost fathers and sons, wives and daughters in the airstrikes would certainly call it aggression.
It should also be noted that, unlike in Crimea where the people were given the opportunity to decide their own fate democratically, the people of Yemen are being given no such opportunity. There has been a domestic insurgency for years in the wake of the civil wars and reunification of North and South Yemen, and whatever stability might have been provided by the new Houthi-led dispensation has now fallen by the wayside. Moreover, the notion that Yemen was a functioning country under Hadi would be like saying that France was a functioning country under the Vichy regime. The overthrow of Hadi opened the possibility for a truly independent nation to emerge. This Saudi Arabia and its allies simply could not abide, as it would set a dangerous precedent for its own domestic opposition which, quite correctly, sees the House of Saud as little more than a proxy of the US and Israel.
Consider also the rhetoric of "aggression" regarding Russia's very limited support for the anti-Kiev rebels of Donetsk and Lugansk. Listening to western media, one would think that Russian military had invaded en masse in those regions and was fighting a war against Kiev's military. The reality is that, despite dozens of accusations and hundreds of news stories, there is still no evidence of any direct Russian military presence in eastern Ukraine. It is true that there are Russian volunteers and some Russian hardware, but these are hardly evidence of any invasion, let alone even military support of the scale that the US has just authorized sending to Kiev. Even a Russophobic perspective would have to admit, however reluctantly, that Russia's presence in eastern Ukraine is minimal and indirect.
Now compare that to the outright bombardment using massive military capabilities being carried out by the Saudis and their allies in Yemen. In a matter of hours, this US-backed alliance has employed more military hardware, and wreaked more devastation, than Russia has in more than 12 months. The question of scale is critical. Russia quite correctly perceives a threat to its own borders and interests from the US-sponsored Kiev regime, and it has acted with a great degree of restraint. On the other hand, Saudi Arabia, which also perceives a Houthi-controlled Yemen as a threat to its borders and interests, has unleashed a massive military campaign to destroy the movement and effect its own regime change to reinstall Hadi.
It could not be clearer the level of hypocrisy from the US, its allies, and the compliant media. Russia is an "aggressor" while Saudi Arabia is a "defender." Iran is sponsoring regime change in Yemen, while the US merely supported "democratic forces" in Ukraine. Assad must go, but Hadi must stay. Not to belabor the point, as it is obvious on its face, but legitimacy and illegitimacy is conferred by the US based on its interests, not international law or objective facts.
That this is well known in the non-Western world is undeniably true. However here in the US, and in the West more broadly, the narrative is shaped by those in power who seek to further their own agendas. They choose the words, and they dictate what is and is not acceptable. They are the Ministry of Truth, and the thought-criminals who question their narratives are dangerous subversives and propagandists. In truth however, those who question those narratives are the ones who have consistently been on the right side of history, from Vietnam to Iraq to Libya, Syria, and Yemen. And I, for one, am proud to count myself among them.

FreePress01Operation Dragoon Ride is underway, and its purpose seems clear: Show the world some of the firepower the United States and its NATO partners have in Eastern Europe.
The exercise was conceived by Lt. Gen. Ben Hodges, the commanding general of U.S. Army Europe. It launched long convoys of armored Stryker vehicles from Estonia on Saturday that will make their way across Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, the Czech Republic and Germany. Other groups of U.S. soldiers left from bases in Lithuania and Poland, with the three groups of troops meeting at Rose Barracks in Vilseck, Germany, Army officials said.
The exercise comes as hostilities continue to simmer in the region. Russia annexed Crimea one year ago last week, and continues to send arms and equipment to separatists fighting in eastern Ukraine against the government in Kiev, U.S. and Ukrainian officials say. Officials in Washington announced this month that they would send unarmed drones, Humvees and other equipment to Kiev, but thus far have declined to send lethal aid.
A dragoon is a mounted soldier or cavalryman. The operation includes soldiers from the Army's 3rd Squadron, 2nd Cavalry Regiment, which calls itself the Dragoons and has headquarters in Vilseck, Germany. In addition to the show of force, the operation is designed to have the military interact regularly with civilians across Europe and provide reassurance that the United States is nearby if needed.

US Aircraft Carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt Flees Russian Submarines like the maggots they are the Americunts are pussy's bunch of gay ass fucks ,! hiding in UK WATERS ,, oh WITH DISABLED JUNK ,,, THE WORLD WAITS IN BAITED BREATH FOR RUSSIA TO RETALIATE AND NUKE DC AND UK in preemptive strike,
This scum in DC needs to be eradicated like vermin, fucking Rats
The Naval Surface Forces ( NSF )
of the Ministry of Defense ( MoD ) are reporting
today that three nuclear-powered Akula-class submarines belonging to the 24th
Submarine Division of the Northern Fleet ( NF ) successfully "war-gamed" the American aircraft carrier
USS Theodore Roosevelt causing it to "flee in terror" towards the waters off
the Hampshire coast in the United Kingdom.
Within hours of the NSF reporting this critical incident, it's interesting
to note, British press sources confirmed that this US Navy behemoth of "100,000
tons of firepower" did indeed dock off Stokes Bay in Gosport stunning
the thousands of spectators who jammed roads and lined the banks of the River
Solent to see it, but which they, also, described as a port call, though none
had been scheduled.
According to this NSF report, the USS Theodore Roosevelt, and its combat
escort ships, had been detected on a course towards the operating zone of the
Northern Fleet which President Putin had
put on full combat alert last week in response to a "State of War" threat detected from the United Kingdom...a threat,
the MoD adds to this report, was, likewise, in response to the Federations "Shock of March" battle plan revealed on 4 February.
With NATO forces, literally, lining
the entire western border with troops, including the unprecedented US
Army's "Dragon Ride" armored convoy
currently winding its way across six European nations, and Norway's equally
unprecedented "Joint Viking" combat war moves against
the northern border, this report continues, President Putin himself gave
the order to "target and disable" the
USS Theodore Roosevelt.
As Russia had warned
its citizens last week to prepare for nuclear war, and Moscow's bomb shelters began to fill
in response to the dire first-strike
nuclear attack being planned by the US, and nearly all of the Federations
military forces being on full
combat alert across all
9 time zones, this report further notes, the approach of the USS Theodore
Roosevelt towards the Baltic Sea made it a "legitimate"
target.
To how this US
aircraft carrier was "disabled" by
the Northern Fleet's attack submarines, this report says, was due to the
Federations successful implementation of "magrav
technology" weapons which had previously been used against American
warships, and had "disabled" them
too.
In fact, NSF experts in this report state, it was only a few weeks ago that
the USS
Theodore Roosevelt was "sunk" by a
French submarine using "magrav
technology" off the coast of Florida during a war game wherein the
Americans were testing their countermeasures against this revolutionary new
weapon prior to their ships deployment to confront Northern Fleet forces.
The necessity of the US Navy to develop countermeasures against "magrav technology", this report says,
was clearly shown to them last year after Federation air forces completely
disabled the feared AEGIS destroyer USS Donald Cook in the Black Sea. So demoralizing was this attack against the
USS Donald Cook, when it limped into a Romanian port for repairs, all
27 of its officers put in for reassignment and/or retirement.
"Magrav technology", its import to
note, was conceived by the Iranian-born nuclear engineer Mehran Keshe , but whose works
are banned from public use in the United States under an Executive
Order signed by President Obama on 23 April 2012.
President Obama's signing of his Executive Order against "magrav technology", it should be
remembered, was due to the Iranian's using it to down, and then capture
one of the United States most secretive and sophisticated drones in
December, 2011, and then Iran
sharing this new weapon with Syria
too.
Immediately upon President Obama banning "magrav technology" in 2012, it should also be noted, Mehran Keshe replied
to the American leader in an open letter by stating:
"Your
Excellency President Obama,
We
offer you a path towards real world peace through the development of this new
technology for the whole human race
I
invite you to a direct presentation of our technology to you and your cabinet,
to be given on neutral ground where the president of Iran could also be present
and where no one betrays anyone else, so that we can all understand the
fundamental change that is about to be brought to mankind. Then let us talk
about genuine world peace.
As
I said in my Sunday interview in Los Angeles, let us convert the military
factories of the US to provide resources for a US space organization, so that
the tools of war become the craft of universal peace.
The aircraft carriers of the US will become nothing but
floating bathtubs if our Magravs technology is used effectively, and the
runways full of F16s and 18s and so on will be nothing but runway museums of
iron birds, as these craft will not be able to fly if their electronic systems
are once touched by Magravs space technology. These crafts and battleships
would have to be rewired from A to Z before they could ever operate again.
President
Obama, we invite you to understand this change and to let us show you the
technology that is bringing it about. Then we invite you to the table of world
peace.
Please
sign a decree for genuine peace and not a gagging order for science and
technology, which your people understand fully what we have developed as they
try to protect the pride of your nation.
This
is not a question of the pride of one group or country, but pride for all of us
in the advancement of the human race to new levels of understanding of the
universal order of creation, in which we each have our place.
Your
Ambassador and Consul in Belgium have direct access to me from our previous
talks and correspondence with them and would pass on any communication.
With
kindest regards from a peace loving man who has developed this powerful
technology for the good of mankind."
Sadly, as this NSF concludes, it has cost the Obama the humiliating defeat
of two of its most powerful warships since his banning of "magrav technology" in 2012, with the total disablement of the USS
Donald Cook last year, the war game "sinking"
of the USS Theodore Roosevelt a few weeks ago, and now, today, this same
aircraft carrier floating disabled off the UK coast, to realize the truth of
Mehran Keshe's warning him that "the aircraft
carriers of the US will become nothing but floating bathtubs".
And though not stated in this report...one need look no further than it to
come to a full and complete understanding of why Obama is furiously attempting
to negotiate with Iran, while at the same time trying to keep his military
forces from igniting World War III in order to destroy those nations who have
begun using "magrav technology"
weapons against them....like Russia and Iran...and (of course) the French
submarine communications centre that's already being targeted by US drones.

Global Research, March 26, 2015
PaulCraigRoberts.org
Andrew Cockburn has written a must-read book. The title is Kill Chain: The Rise Of The High-Tech Assassins. The title could just as well be: How the US Government and US Military Became Murder, Inc.
The US military no longer does war. It does assassinations, usually of the wrong people. The main victims of the US assassination policy are women, children, village elders, weddings, funerals, and occasionally US soldiers mistaken for Taliban by US surveillance operating with the visual acuity of the definition of legal blindness.
Cockburn tells the story of how the human element has been displaced by remote control killing guided by misinterpretation of unclear images on screens collected by surveillance drones and sensors thousands of miles away. Cockburn shows that the "all-seeing" drone surveillance system is an operational failure but is supported by defense contractors because of its high profitability and by the military brass because
general officers, with the exception of General Paul Van Ripper, are brainwashed in the belief that the revolution in military affairs means that high-tech devices replace the human element. Cockburn demonstrates that this belief is immune to all evidence to the contrary. The US military has now reached the point that Secretary of Defense Hagel deactivated both the A-10 close support fighter and the U-2 spy plane in favor of the operationally failed unmanned Global Hawk System. With the A-10 and U-2 went the last platforms for providing a human eye on what is happening on the ground.
The surveillance/sensor technology cannot see human footprints in the snow. Consequently, the drone technology concluded that a mountain top was free of enemy and sent a detachment of unsuspecting SEALS to be shot up. Still insisting no enemy present, a second group of SEALS were sent to be shot up, and then a detachment of Army Rangers. Finally, an A-10 pilot flew over the scene and reported the enemy's presence in force.
By 2012 even the US Air Force, which had been blindly committed to the unmanned drone system, had experienced more failure than could any longer be explained away. The Air Force admitted that the 50-year old U-2 could fly higher and in bad weather and take better pictures than the expensive Global Hawk System and declared the Global Hawk system scrapped.
The decision was supported by the 2011 report from the Pentagon's test office that the drone system was "not operationally effective." Among its numerous drawbacks was its inability to carry out assigned missions 75% of the time. The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff told Congress that in addition to the system's unacceptable failure rate, the drone system "has fundamentally priced itself out of our ability to afford it."
As Cockburn reports: "It made no difference. Congress, led by House Armed Services Committee Chairman Buck McKeon and Democratic Congressman Jim Moran (whose northern Virginia district hosts the headquarters of both Northrop and Raytheon) effortless brushed aside these pleas, forcing the Air Force to keep buying the unwanted drone."
Cockburn provides numerous examples of the utter failure of the unmanned revolution ushered in by unrealistic dreamers, such as Andrew Marshall, John Foster, William Perry, and David Deptula, who have done much harm to the US military and American taxpayers. The failure stories are legion and sad. Almost always the victims are the innocent going about their everyday affairs.
The book opens with the story of three vehicles crammed with people from the same village heading to Kabul. Some were students returning to school in Kabul, some were shopkeepers heading to the capital to buy supplies, others were unemployed men on their way to Iran seeking work, and some were women bringing gifts for relatives. This collection of ordinary people, represented on screens by vague images, was willfully mistaken, as the reproduced conversations between drone operators and assassins show, for a senior Taliban commander leading forces to attack a US Special Forces patrol. The innocent civilians were blown to smithereens.
The second chapter tells of the So Tri, an indigenous people in the remote wilderness of southeastern Laos who were bombed for nine years because the stupid American military sowed their environment with sensors that called down bombs when human presence was detected. High-tech warfare misidentified the villagers with Viet Cong moving through jungle routes.
One heartbreaking story follows another. If surveillance suspects the presence of a High Value Target in a restaurant, regardless of nominal restrictions on the number of innocents who can be murdered as the "collateral damage" part of the strike, the entire restaurant and all within are destroyed by a hellfire missile. Remember that the Israelis denounce terrorists for exploding suicide vests inside Israeli restaurants. What the US military does is even worse.
On other occasions the US assassinates an underling of a High Value Target on the assumption that the Target will attend the funeral which is obliterated from the air whether the Target is present or not.
As the murders are indiscriminate, the US military defines all males killed to be valid targets. Generally, the US will not admit the deaths of non-Targets, and some US officials have declared there to be no such deaths. Blatant and obvious lies issue without shame in order to protect the "operationally ineffective" and very expensive high-tech production runs that mean billions of taxpayer dollars for the military/security complex and comfortable 7-figure employment salaries with contractors after retirement for the military brass.
When you read this book you will weep for your country ruled as it is by completely immoral and inhumane monsters. But Cockburn's book is not without humor. He tells the story of Marine Lt. General Paul Van Riper, the scourge of the Unmanned Revolution in Military affairs, who repeatedly expressed contempt for the scientifically unsupported theories of unmanned war. To humiliate Gen. Ripper with a defeat in a massive war game as leader of the enemy Red force against the high-tech American Blue force, he was called out of retirement to participate in a war game stacked against him.
The Blue force armored with a massive database (Operational Net Assessment) and overflowing with acronyms was almost instantly wiped out by General Ripper. He sank the entire aircraft carrier fleet and the entire Blue force army went down with it. The war was over. The 21st century US high-tech, effects-based military was locked into a preset vision and was beaten hands down by a maverick Marine general with inferior forces.
The Joint Forces Command turned purple with rage. Gen. Ripper was informed that the outcome of the war game was unacceptable and would not stand. The sunken fleet magically re-floated, the dead army was resurrected, and the war was again on, only this time restriction after restriction was placed on the Red force. Ripper was not allowed to shoot down the Blue force's troop transports. Ripper was ordered to turn on all of the Red force's radars so that the Red forces could be easily located and destroyed. Umpires ruled, despite the facts, that all of Ripper's missile strikes were intercepted. Victory was declared for high-tech war. Ripper's report on the total defeat of the Blue force, its unwarranted resurrection, and the rigged outcome was promptly classified so that no one could read it.
The highly profitable Revolution in Military Affairs had to be protected at all costs along with the reputations of the incompetent generals that comprise today's high command.
The infantile behavior of the US military compelled to create a victory for its high-tech, but legally blind, surveillance warfare demonstrates how far removed from the ability to conduct real warfare the US military is. What the US military has done in Afghanistan and Iraq is to create far more enemies than it has killed. Every time high-tech killing
murders a village gathering, a wedding or funeral, or villagers on the way to the capital, which is often, the US creates hundreds more enemies. This is why after 14 years of killing in Afghanistan, the Taliban now control most of the country. This is why Islamist warriors have carved a new country out of Syria and Iraq despite eight years of American sacrifice in Iraq estimated by Joseph Stiglitz and Linda Bilmes to have cost Americans a minimum of $3 trillion. The total failure of the American way of war is obvious to all, but the system rolls on autonomously.
The Revolution in Military Affairs has decapitated the US military, which no longer has the knowledge or ability or human tools to conduct war. If the crazed Russophobic US generals get their way and end up in confrontation with Russia, the American forces will be destroyed. The humiliation of this defeat will cause Washington to take the war nuclear.

AdihajumSoo... the "big Satan" is helping the minion of Iran against their mutual enemy, the Sunnis. Shiites in bed with the Americans against the Muslims, nothing new for these backstabbers.
U.S. warplanes began airstrikes against Islamic State targets in Tikrit in what American officials said was a sign of the failure of Iranian-backed forces to retake the city.
The offensive to retake the city has been stalled for more than a week and American officials on Wednesday said they began the strikes after the Iraqi government formally requested help. The U.S. in recent days began providing video feeds and other intelligence to Iraqi forces, drawing the Americans into closer coordination with Iranian-allied Shiite militias spearheading the campaign.
The U.S. intervention is a blow to Iran, which has played a major role in commanding the Shiite militias and has also supplied weapons. Those militias account for about 20,000 of the 30,000-strong force involved in the operation.
U.S. officials said the difficulty in Tikrit exposed the weakness of Iranian support for Iraq's government, adding that they hope to use those difficulties to drive a wedge between Iraq and Iran.
"Tikrit shows the complete failure by Iran to produce results on the ground," said a senior U.S. official.
Iran's powerful Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has been assisting the Iraqi force, including planning help, artillery fire and other combat support. But Pentagon officials said the IRGC effort has produced little in the way of results for Iraqi forces.
The U.S. and allied warplanes struck between six and 10 targets in Tikrit, according to Pentagon officials, including the palace that Islamic State militants have been using as their headquarters. The buildings struck were all preselected targets that U.S. surveillance planes have been tracking for several days, officials said.
American officials held open the option that moving targets could be targeted in future strikes. Defense officials said they were working only with the Iraqi government and Iraqi security forces, not Shiite militias or Iranian forces.
Tikrit, about 120 miles north of Baghdad, is dominated by Iraq's Sunni minority, which has complained of discrimination by the Shiite-led government and past abuses by Shiite militias. U.S. officials have worried an offensive by a mostly Shiite force to liberate a Sunni city could touch off sectarian fighting.
While the operation has been moving slowly during the past three weeks, the U.S. has conducted 318 airstrikes elsewhere in Iraq and Syria, killing some 800 Islamic State fighters and destroying tanks and other heavy equipment, according to defense officials.
A Pentagon official said on Wednesday that the number of fighters killed and Islamic State equipment destroyed in operations outside Tikrit was far greater than the size of the militant force inside the city that has held off the Iraqi advance.
"We haven't been sitting on the sidelines. We have been getting after it all over Iraq," said Lt. Col. Brian Fickel, a spokesman for U.S. Central Command. "It is clear to Iraq they need a reliable partner. We can provide a capability that others cannot."
The first two weeks of the offensive, when Iraqi security forces beat back Islamic State fighters with little resistance, were seen as confirmation of America's diminishing influence in a nation it occupied for nearly a decade. Iraqi military leaders initially predicted Tikrit would fall quickly. But a few weeks later, the campaign stalled.
Since Islamic State took over large swaths of Iraq last summer, Tikrit, more than any other battle, has emerged as a regionwide standoff between Shiite Iran on one side and the U.S. and its mostly Sunni Arab allied nations on the other.
In a news conference on Wednesday, Hadi al-Ameri, one of the top leaders of Iraq's Shiite militias and a close associate of the Iranian regime, shrugged off suggestions that Iraqi security forces needed U.S. help to recapture Tikrit.
He said that airstrikes were blunt instruments ill-suited for Tikrit's urban warfare and may even interfere with the militias' own reconnaissance drones.
"I assure you if we needed them, we would say we needed them. But we don't need the American planes," Mr. Ameri said, adding that he would make a formal request to the Iraqi government for the U.S. not to intervene. "Even if the government requested them, we did not request them."
But another militia leader, a local Sunni, said the battle for Tikrit needed American help. The commander said Mr. Ameri's dismissal of coalition airstrikes amounted to face-saving bluster.
"They don't want to admit that they couldn't do it without help from the coalition," he said of the Shiite militias.
Had coalition fighters participated at the start of the battle, he said, the fighting could have been much shorter.
Iraqi security forces launched the battle for Tikrit on March 2 without coordinating with U.S. forces or requesting air support. The go-it-alone approach caught U.S. military officials by surprise and appeared to be aimed at demonstrating the militias' battle readiness.
An Iraqi Shiite militiaman with the so-called Imam Ali Brigades in Tikrit on Wednesday, as the U.S. said it had begun airstrikes against Islamic State militants there because of the failure of Iran-backed Shiite fighters to retake the city. Iranian intelligence agents took visible roles directing the fighting on the ground, and many militia leaders in Tikrit proudly acknowledged that their weapons, uniforms, food and vehicles had been donated by their Shiite-majority neighbor.But after the militias cleared Tikrit's suburbs to the south and east, the assault began to slow as hundreds of the Sunni insurgents of Islamic State fortified themselves in the city center surrounded by improvised explosive devices and a protective layer of snipers.
Fear of civilian casualties, a large number of hidden improvised explosive devices, snipers in tall buildings and even worries that Islamic State will deploy chemical weapons have slowed the militias' progress.
"The area is full of mines and explosives," said Capt. Salaam Sleiman Hamid, a Sunni militia and a former leader in the Awakening, a group of Sunni tribes that the U.S. troops enlisted to fight al Qaeda nearly 10 years ago.
In the nine months since Islamic State took control of the city, it rigged homes, streets and even trees with booby-traps, he said, in anticipation of Iraqi forces' counterattack.
It is politics, not geography, that really keeps militia fighters from chasing Islamic State out of the city, said Haidar al-Wardi, a spokesman for the Badr Corps, the Shiite militia led by Mr. Ameri. Sunni politicians in Baghdad are opposed to retaking the city without a significant Sunni force whose presence would temper sectarian tensions in the majority Sunni area, he said.
Lt. Col. Wisaam Jabir, with the special forces in the Iraqi Army, said the order to stop the advance in Tikrit came a week ago from the minister of defense under the guise of military strategy. But Mr. Jabir, who spent a week on the front line in Tikrit, said he was sure politics was playing a role as well.
"Is it more political or more military?" he said. "It's a puzzle."

An intercontinental ballistic missile was fired early Monday from a facility in California, the US Air Force announced, saying the tests were a message to the world about Washington's nuclear capabilities.
The Minuteman III missile was fitted with a "test re-entry vehicle" instead of a live thermonuclear warhead, and was test-launched from Vandenberg Air Force Base (AFB) in California at 03:36 local time (10:36 GMT), according to the Air Force statement.

Ukraine's president, Petro Poroshenko , has urged his country's allies to consider boycotting the 2018 World Cup in Russia if Moscow does not pull all its troops out of his country's territory.
Poroshenko told the German newspaper Bild he prefers to keep football and politics separate but that this was not possible when the Ukrainian club Shakhtar Donetsk are having to play 1,200km away in Lviv because Donetsk is occupied by pro-Russia separatists.
"I think there has to be discussion of a boycott of this World Cup. As long as there are Russian troops in Ukraine I think a World Cup in that country is unthinkable," said Poroshenko.
He said he would ask Germany's chancellor, Angela Merkel , to push for tougher sanctions against Russia because of what he described as repeated separatist violations of the ceasefire which she helped broker last month.
He is also going to ask the chancellor for more non-lethal military aid for Ukraine's forces, such as bullet-proof vests. "We need more to be able to defend ourselves and protect our soldiers," said Poroshenko. "We need radar reconnaissance, drones, radio and night-vision equipment. I am going to talk to the chancellor about this. It's not about weapons of attack - we don't want to attack anyone."http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=ba4_1427307926cheeknikUkraine calls on boycotting the Russian hosted World CupUkraine, Russian terrorists US Military Humvees Arrive in UkraineWed, 25 Mar 2015 12:07:27 -0400http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=44d_1427298719

A US Air Force plane with 10 US military Humvees on board landed in Ukraine, with President Petro Poroshenko personally supervising the delivery of the high mobility multipurpose wheeled vehicles.Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko said Wednesday that the Humvees would be equipped with weapons and sent to Donbass.
"The president greeted first 10 Humvees, a vehicle extremely powerful and useful for our military," tweeted Svyatoslav Tsegolko, Poroshenko's press secretary.
.
"In total, Ukraine is expected to receive 230 US vehicles," said head of special operations in eastern Ukraine Andriy Lysenko, describing the delivery as military aid.
Yury Biryukov, Poroshenko's aide, posted several photos from the event on Facebook.
Earlier in March, Barack Obama announced that the United States will
send 30 armored Humvees and up to 200 unarmored Humvees, as well
as counter-mortar radars, unarmed drones, radios and medical equipment
to Ukraine as part of non-lethal military aid.http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=44d_1427298719Karl2015US Military Humvees Arrive in UkraineUkraineUS to send more <span class="highlight">drones</span>, Humvees to Ukraine!Wed, 11 Mar 2015 12:55:55 -0400http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=453_1426092657

Secretary of State John Kerry confirmed US was to send Ukraine more non-lethal military aid, including drones and armored Humvees.
"We are today providing immediately some 75 million dollars of additional non-lethal assistance, immediately, to Ukraine in order to help them in non-lethal assistance," Kerry told the Senate on Wednesday afternoon during a hearing concerning a proposed war powers act offered by the White House. "And, as you know, other things are currently under consideration."
The aid has been discussed on the phone by Vice President Joe Biden and Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko during a phone call, according to US officials, AP reported.
The aid package includes the small Raven drone system, which can be launched by hand, radios, counter mortar radars, 30 heavily armored Humvees and 200 regular ones.

Washington and other NATO allies have spent in excess of $100 million in security aid to Ukraine, although until now this has been primarily of a non-lethal nature.
"We have over the last 14 months provided $118 million in security assistance" to the Ukrainian authorities, Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland told the House Committee on Foreign Affairs earlier this month.
The US also announced earlier in March that they were planning to send about 300 military advisors to train the Ukrainian army from March through October.
The UK also announced that it will send 75 British military personnel in March who will offer medical, intelligence and infantry training to the Ukrainian army. Poland has also said it is sending military advisors to Ukraine.
Sergey Ryabkov, a deputy Russian foreign minister, said in February that supplying weapons to Ukraine would "escalate the whole situation" and "would be a major blow to the Minsk agreements."
Russia believes the best chance for peace in Ukraine lies in the Minsk ceasefire agreement, which largely appears to be holding.
"It's extremely important that the authorities in Kiev have agreed to carry out a deep constitutional reform, to satisfy a desire for self-rule in certain regions - whether that reform is called decentralization, autonomization or federalization. This is the deeper meaning of the Minsk accords," said President Putin.

SvenVonErickI watched the movie Chappie. IMDb listing ]
I watched the movie based on the IMDb listing, currently a 7.3 rating out of 10. I would not give the movie that high of a rating. The movie is worth watching for other than entertainment value. Although, the movie can be considered entertaining for most of you reading this.
Jeremy Jahns' review of the movie, and embedded youtube video link found here ].
It is beyond international banker and corporate organized propaganda giving a police terminator drone robot the protection needed we would want to give any baby who is loveable, and who is in the possession of criminally insane parents.
Let's just love the killing. Drone killing of most of the population is great, right? Let's give human rights to Terminator Drone Human Killing Robots, right?
The Defense Industry Propagandists teach us that the killer robots are just babies, with human intelligence, who just need to be loved. That is good. You need an international tax to breathe. It used to be classified as "Global Warming". But now, citizen, you are responsible for "Climate Change". You should apologize, and pay, for breathing, right?
Love population reductiton, UN Agenda 21. It is a baby who needs love, right?
